March 20 (Reuters) - Volkswagen will bring
new automated driving technologies to series production as it
deepens its partnership with Mobileye in automotive
driving technologies, Europe's biggest carmaker said on
Wednesday.
Israeli automotive tech company Mobileye will provide
driving assistance software based on its SuperVision and
Chauffeur platforms to VW's luxury brands such as Audi, Bentley,
Lamborghini and Porsche.
The technologies, which later will be integrated into VW's
software unit Cariad, include assistance systems for highway and
urban driving, such as automated overtaking on multilane
highways, automatic stopping at red lights and stop signs, and
support in intersections and roundabouts.
"New automated driving functions will significantly boost
convenience and safety," VW Chief Executive Oliver Blume said.
Mobileye is also set to supply further automated driving
software to Volkswagen's commercial vehicles unit.
